Another year, another Wrestlemania passes us by, So was this the most electrifying Wrestlemania of all time as The Rock predicted? Lets find out.. (Matches in same order as my predictions were)
Rey Mysterio v Cody Rhodes Winner: Cody Rhodes
This was a good match, like I thought it would be but i still feel there could of been a little more from these two. I predicted a Cody win as it would benefit him more and that's what we got. Expect Cody to be in the main event scene by the end of the year, much what like happened to Dolph.
The Corre v Kane, Big Show, Santino & Kofi Winner: Big Show, Kane, Santino & Kofi
This is the match that should of become a dark match, only went to a couple of minutes. Nothing good came of it!
Sheamus v Daniel Bryan US Title
I was actually looking forward to this match, but it got pulled from the event and turned into a dark match, then it got turned into a lumberjack match and soon into it Teddy Long came out and turned it into a over the top battle royal which Great Khali won. Why?
John Morrison, Trish & Snooki v Dolph Ziggler & Lay-Cool Winner: John Morrison, Trish & Snooki
Didn't go very long, and Dolph and John didn't have much to do! Another let down match which I did expect. Snooki got booed heavily when she entered the ring, but the fans reaction changed when she pulled off a cartwheel to a splash (check it out) The winners were never in doubt in this match. What a waste for John Morrison and Dolph Ziggler. Hopefully THEIR fued isn't over.
Randy Orton v CM Punk Winner: Randy Orton
I really thought they would give the win here to CM Punk and set him up for a good year as a top contender for the title but instead they went with the Randy Orton finishing off Nexus angle I presume? Superman Cena couldn't do it all year long, But Orton's managed it in about 2 months? Interesting. Not an amazing match, was a bit disapointed after such a big build up.
Jerry Lawler v Michael Cole w/ Jack Swagger Special Ref Stone ColdWinner: Jerry Lawler...5 minutes later changed to Michael Cole
A bad match. The crowd just wasn't into it at all, plus Cole didn't even get a stunner? Ok. Jerry did make Cole tap out to win the match, but after Austin stunned, Swagger & Booker T the Raw GM emailed in and awarded the match to Cole, Josh Matthews got a stunner too for delivering the news! Maybe this was WWE's way of having Jerry win the match, but they have given something for Cole's heel persona to still feed off. Not a good match.
Alberto Del Rio v Edge World Heavyweight Title Winner: Edge
To my shock, this match went out first! Was not expecting that, and was definatley not expecting an Edge win! When was his last Mania win? was it against Foley? Seems a while ago anyhow.The match Didn't go long, which was dissapointing but still a good bout for the time given! I still think it will be a triple threat at Extreme Rules, or maybe a tag match between ADR & Brodus Clay v Edge & Christian with one of the Canadians turning heel.
The Undertaker v Triple H Winner: The Undertaker
A great great match. Match of the night. Best match since Taker v HBK last year? Probably. Loads of great spots, including HHH hitting the tombstone. Taker going threw the announce table, and a chair to the head! Some incredible spots. Good ending too with HHH tapping out to Hells Gate after trying to hold on. Undertaker got stretchered out at the end, showed how hard both these men fought.
I can;t see the streak ever ending now. Not to anyone. And a lot of us were way off the mark about HBK!
John Cena v The Miz WWE Title Winner: The Miz
Apart from the double countout, this is more or less how I thought this main event would go. Miz winning due to Rocks interference. It wasn't a great match but all we were thinking was how would The Rock get involved. After such an awful Mania I wouldnt of been suprised if the match had ended with a double count out, but I can live with the way it ended. The Miz needed to win this, and win he did (He was even allowed to kick out of the attitude adjustment)
But what now for The Rock and John Cena? I can see a match. Summerslam? maybe too early.
Next years Mania in The Rocks home town of Mania? Very very likely.
It's a match this Wrestlemania could of done with. HHH and Taker put on a hell of a show, but the rest of the card was a huge disapointment for me.
What did you think?
Def wasnt the best. Still good for what the rock did
